In response to queries from employers and managers we have devised a simple and efficient way to check whether employees regulated by the HCPC are currently registered.

Up to 100 registration records can be searched for at any one time. The example below shows how to use the search facility. You should enter the records in columns/lists, but you must include the profession code. There should be no space between the code and the registration number, for example AS9999.

Example

PH12345RA12345OT12345

Search results

The multiple registrant search facility will provide the registration details of health professionals who are currently registered. If the results page lists a record as “not found” this could mean the registration number is incorrect and you should try again.

If you continue to get a “not found” record this means the registration number has not been recognised and could mean the registrant is no longer registered.
